You're not the only one that likes it, no, I do as well :) Just hope that the future ICS HTC Devices will have less sense UI and more ICS UI, becuase I like the ICS look and feel MUCH more then Sense.

When I first saw this headline I thought they actually meant locking phones into a theme - like a skin I guess - and I thought that was terrible. Now I've read it properly, it does make some sense (no pun).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
Ok, long story short, I have 113MB of 'system data' in my /datadata folder (66% full), and I want it gone.

But I can't get rid of it... I've tried a full clean install, I've tried manually formatting /datadata from CWM, and I've also tried formatting boot, cache, data, datadata, and system from CWM followed by a fresh install (Kang 12/17).

My wife has the same phone and ROM and she only has 26% full in /datadata:confused:. I can't - for the life of me - figure out how to completely clean /datadata.

One thing I noticed in terminal emulator is that the data in /data and /datadata is about equal to what is listed in /system. However, formatting /system did not clear it out.

Please help as this is driving me insane!:mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbc663:
Isn't datadata based on your apps? Like dalvik? I think ur wife just has less apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I thought so to, but even with no apps (nothing but what comes with the ROM) I have 3x what she has... and she has what comes with the ROM plus all her other apps.

If it does have to do exclusively with the apps, I'm more than willing to do everything step by step to figure out which app(s) cause my issue, but in order to do that I need to be able to clear the folder of everything except what true system data is necessary and start from square 1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
/datadata is apps settings and data. A little more info might help...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
What kind of info do you need, and I'll try and supply it. I'm trying to do a clean install so that all of those app settings and data are starting from scratch. Factory resets didn't do it, formatting the folders through CWM didn't do it...

I must be missing something... but I can't figure out what it is.

Some basic background:

Most recently on the 12/17 Kang (CM7.2 RC0) with the glitch v13 (2.6.35.13) kernel and Gapps 08/28

For the just completed testing I only flashed Gapps (08/28) and the 12/17 Kang so I could see if anything I did worked on clearing /datadata.

Other than that, the only modification I've done to my phone is the modem is KG3 i9000.

Have u tried Titanium Backup Pro app ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I haven't... I have the free version currently. Would the pro version do all of this stuff?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The free version should do for deleting data and removing apps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbc663:
I'll go out out on a limb here but try backing up your sd card and formatting it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I had thought of that too... once formatted and I reinstall the ROM and stuff, is it easy enough to just copy those folders back on the phone? That was the one thing I was worried about... and thus I hadn't tried yet.

Formatting always makes me nervous :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Are you encountering any issues with it being that full? Or is this just to satisfy your ocd?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbc663:
As simple as dragging and dropping files. Also nice to start fresh every once in a while to clear out junk from old apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I'm getting ready to format my SDcard and start all over... but if I format my SD card, I'll no longer have my ROM zips there to flash. I put the ROMs on my external SD card (emmc), but in CWM I can't mount emmc to make sure they are there to flash when I format my SDCard...

How do I get my ROM flashed again once I format my SD card?

EDIT:

Doing more research it appears that I should be able to format my SD card w/o losing my ROM as long as I leave my boot and system folders alone.

So, if I format /data, /datadata, and /sdcard I should be able to reboot and see if it worked :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
I am encountering issues with it being that full. I have like 70 apps with approx 38MB of data taken up... combined with the large amount of 'system data' in the /datadata partition I'm running into the issues when that folder gets to 90% capacity.

It's at the point that I can't install new apps that save any data at all or I will have to constantly shuffle which apps can save their data. Doing research I found that the 172MB cap shouldn't be an issue unless you are hording apps... I have a small number of apps with a small amount of data, so things should be better :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
Thanks for all the suggestions...

But so far nothing has worked.

I formatted the SD card along with data and datadata and rebooted the phone.

My /datadata folder was still listed at 66% full. So formatting nearly everything still couldn't clear this folder.

I'm still boggled why the other captivate started with 8MB system data and I start with 113MB, both on a clean install...

Perhaps my only hope is to clear stuff out again and flash ICS and hope that something is different enough that this 'problem' goes away...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
An additional thought

Would I be able to delete the /datadata folder through Root Explorer, reboot into recovery and reflash the ROM?

I would assume the ROM will repartition the phone correctly. System data can't exist in a folder that doesn't exist - right? :)
[HTC Sensation] astarman:
hi im really new to android, and i just rooted my Sensation XE. But i was wondering if i was to have any problems then i would have to S-on etc and would need the RUU, but i havent been able to find any Australia RUUs?

Any ideas or guidance ?

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] astarman:
bump!

any help? :(
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
It's just about impossible trying to find any Vodafone Australia RUU, just hope an ICS one comes out for us. :)
[HTC Sensation] Psychoticus:
If I were you I would just make a titanium backup of the stock rom and then if anything happens you can flash it back and turn s-on again
[HTC Sensation] astarman:
but i thought you need the RUU to flash back and S-on

thats what the guide says? :S
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
I think you mean to do a Nandroid backup, right? As Titanium only backs up user and system apps and data.
[HTC Sensation] Psychoticus:
Sorry my bad, Yes a nandroid backup
[HTC Sensation] EpicSauce:
However a nandroid backup won't backup the boot system nor recovery so after rooting you won't be able to get back to stock without an RUU which matches your current build.

Though it may be possible by temp rooting first, backing up system and recovery, then rooting via alpharev, installing a custom recovery and doing a nandroid backup of the stock ROM. This may provide all components needed to get back to stock without an RUU, though a bit more research to figure it all out:-)
[HTC Sensation] astarman:
too bad i already rooted haha

so noone has the RUU for AUs? :(

and does anyone know how to backup the firmware? or does nandroid to it ? cos i want to upgrade the firmware ..
[HTC Sensation] astarman:
so looks like if something happens i cant S-on and send it back to repair.. LOL HAHAHA GG...

I tagged you all in multi quote just coz you all seem rather switched on and I figured you all could help verify ???

thnx guys.
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
That should be it, if your using the non-XE version. Aussie aussie aussie!
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
Forum noob with a noob question but you have to start somewhere!

This being an .exe file how do I flash the radio? Do I push it through adb shell? as I have only flashed .zip files to this point?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
The RUU .exe contains all you need including the RUU radio, however us it with caution as it'll also update the HBOOT.

EDIT: Oops, just run it on the PC & USB connected and it'll take a few mins and back at STOCK everything.

I have seen many posts where people attempt to S-ON and end up bricking their phone, be careful if you need to S-ON.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
That RUU isn't for the XE
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
Ok sweet, so there is no file that we know of for the radio by itself? That's all I'm chasing at this stage, not looking to S-ON and not stressed about the HBOOT.
[HTC Sensation] steve.bakos:
Help!

Hi guys,

Bought a XE from Voda and tried to s-off = success. Then tried to do the "RUU" and the phone has sh1t itself, rebooting, loop after loop.

I should never have attempted it, I am a noob. Tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, hard reset (all from rebooting into recovery) with no joy at all. Tried flashing another rom from sd card = fail.

Is it a brick?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Which RUU did you use?
[HTC Sensation] steve.bakos:
before you say it, yes, I am an idiot. I have no idea, one of the threads mentioned one (which now I cant seem to find that thread again yet) and I tried it, killed my XE instantly.

I have flashed GS2's before and thought s-off = go flash a rom or any sensation ruu but of course, I am a dill.

Is it a matter of flashing (if I can find it) a recovery image from somewhere for the xe;??

You may also want to look into flashing one of TDJ's kernels. He usually raises the volume by default.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SprigganMaster:
In poweramp, you can boost volume in the equalizer.

Be aware that poweramp lower this value when you change your preset ; you need to adjust volume boosting each time you change it.

It says right under the first part of the OP titled "what is this and what does it do?"

in the OP it also the title says

Kernel

Cleaning Script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
@ sgs You mean before flashing a ROM, right? Or before flashing a new kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
Chill brotha. He's asking for when it should be flashed for proper usage. Not what it is..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
I believe it should be used prior to flashing a new kernel. Also when changing ROM's which also contain a different kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Well you do sound like one, I did read it and didn't say when exactly you were to use it. SO then, use it ONLY when changing kernels. So if you flash a new rom, then you do or dont use it? Only if youre running a rom, but decide to go to another kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
I think you're on the right track:

1) use prior to flashing a new kernel

or

2) use prior to flashing a new ROM if that ROM uses a different kernel than what you are currently using
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
Exactly how this should be used...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Thanks that is what i thought, or at least figured out with your guys help. Just didnt know if it was useful in the middle of running a rom. i.e I just flashed the Siyah kernel to Miui yesterday, would this help me today, that kind of deal. So with that thinking, if I wanted to use this tool right now, I would run it, then flash the Siyah kernel again afterwards. Now, what about, when you restore a rom? I am about to put Shostock back, do I run this tool before restoring? ;)

well, I restored, rebooted, then boot back into cwm, flashed the cleaner, then flashed the kernel I wanted, then rebooted.

After flashing SiyahKernel.

I make a point of not putting persistent cruft anywhere - not even rooting any more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jank4AU:
Is this something that would need to be done if flashing a different iteration of the same kernel? Siyah 2.6.1 to 2.6.3 for example?

I know you just said we don't need to run these kernel cleaning scripts for your kernels...thanks in advance. Also, is Pika's Bolt script compatible with your kernels or is it unnecessary? Just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
So quick to jump on someone! Not to sound like a prick, but can't YOU read?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Depends on the kernel... If it puts crap in init.d or elsewhere on the system, then yes.

Note that it may also clobber stuff your firmware dev intentionally put into init.d - I believe gtg has a zipalign script along with a script to set the CPU governor to ondemand in Unnamed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kamots:
Awesome dude thank you for this! I had it on my captivate it worked wonders
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
I gather you just edited the script form the I9100 forums this thread samsung ultimate kernel cleaning script posted by buster041284... yes?

The scripts are very similar. Yours recursively deletes everything in the init.d folder and script posted by buster041284's version deletes specific files in the init.d folder.

I believe cleaning up scripts from Siyah's kernel prior to (re)installing Entropy's kernel is the only reason for us I777 folks to use the scripts.. . right?

Wouldn't you want to only kill those files vice every script in the entire folder?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Most cleaning scripts are about the same. I actually got the idea from the captivate forums back when it was my primary phone. Also updated the script to just remove siyah init's since that is the only kernel we have right now that installs them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Peaster111:
Gotcha... no surprise that the scripts would be similar. Good call on adjusting the updaterscript... folks might get a little concerned if you wiped their other init.d scripts too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
and its listed right there plain as day .. first post. People do need to f'n read. :)

I don't think he meant anything by it. Highaltitude did ask when to use it... and it couldn't be any clearer listed in the OP. Honestly... when why and how is all in the first post. If highaltitude didn't know about using it for ROMs which is a valid question.. but he did ask "when" do you use this ... and its like the third thing listed. and he wasn't even that rude about it. And also its a kernel cleaning script, not a ROM cleaning script, it says pretty clearly what it does. Sure it will work in between ROMs to clean your kernel but if your switching ROMs you wanna do a FULL wipe anyway... just sayin :)

Its all good though, I know now what I was trying to find out. Still not sure I really ever need this script anyway. As I always do full wipe/clean installs unless the Devs specify that the update does not require one. I have not really had any good luck with Siyah kernel the few times I've tried it as it seemed to screw my phone up more than help it, it produces massive heat and so I probably wont go back to using it ever anyhow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I thought i replied on the same day but fair enough. Another added benefit is for Overclockers.. I suppose the gs2 doesn't really have an issue OC'ing. But suppose you save some settings as boot and they turn out to not be stable and your phone ends up in a state unable to boot.. you could boot into recovery and flash this script to clear any bad settings. And as more people get the phone and more devs make kernels.. you'll be flashing more kernels. Not a bad safe keep.. takes up little space :)

sent from my SGSII... suckas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
huh, thats a good point, because if you cant boot up without issues, you can usually at least get to CWM though, so you could use the cleaner to reset. Sounds good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Even if your unable to boot.. like bootloops or freezing.. you can still boot into recovery from the phone powered off via button combo. And from there flash the cleaner script and then your phone will boot up without problems. That's only if you boot loop or are unstable enough for the phone to boot up to change settings.

For those saying should be used prior to rom and kernel changing this is slightly true....

When swithing kernels this should be used

When switching roms its NOT nessecary as most roms wipe system folder that holds init.d scripts so this wont do much...

When updating roms on non wipe but rom changes kernel than this should be used... But all devs should wipe when switching kernels and most devs do

shouldn't it be a longer boot when you use these scripts? all of mine seem to have a short boot up time. but if i clear caches manually it takes longer. Just seeing if that means the script isn't being applied properly on my device (skyrocket)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The script shouldn't affect boot up time. Its when you wipe your cache and dalvik, the system has to rebuild folders and whatnot so it takes longer to boot.
